TL;DR: In this paper, the acid activity of the solid tungsten/zirconia can be affected by the catalyst preparation method, and it is shown that refluxing of the hydrous zirconias prior to tengsten impregnation gives a catalyst with higher surface area than the nonrefluxed material, but with the same strong acid site density, as determined by n -pentane isomerization activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the content, which is related to the age of the deposition solution, and of mass transport on the deposition current and deposition efficiency were determined and used to elucidate the mechanism of electrodeposition.
Abstract: Electrodeposition of amorphous electrochromic tungsten trioxide was studied. Good quality films were deposited cathodically onto tin‐doped indium oxide (ITO) from a water/isopropanol solution containing dissolved tungsten(VI) species. Three reducible species are present in this solution: unbound , polytungstate ions, and peroxy‐tungstate ions. The effects of the content, which is related to the age of the deposition solution, and of mass transport on the deposition current and deposition efficiency were determined and used to elucidate the mechanism of electrodeposition. Reduction of unbound and polytungstate did not result in film growth. This part of the current was under mixed diffusion‐kinetic control. The remainder of the current was due to reduction of peroxy‐tungstate and was kinetically limited. This process led to deposition. The current efficiency, defined as the number of electrons consumed by reduction of peroxy‐tungstate per W atom deposited, was about 1.6, in good agreement with the proposed deposition reaction.

TL;DR: Ionic conduction of trivalent aluminum in solid aluminum tungstate, Al2(WO4)3, has been directly and quantitatively demonstrated in this paper by means of electrolysis and electromotive force measurement by constructing an aluminum concentration cell.
Abstract: Ionic conduction of trivalent aluminum in solid aluminum tungstate, Al2(WO4)3, has been directly and quantitatively demonstrated. Trivalent ions, especially for aluminum where the polarizability is considerably low, are strongly bonded in a crystal lattice and have been believed to be unlikely to exhibit migration in solids because of high electrostatic interaction with the surrounding skeleton structure. The material, Al2(WO4)3, which has the Sc2(WO4)3 structure, was selected in order to reduce the interaction between the framework and the mobile species, Al3+, as much as possible. The ionic conduction characteristics of Al2(WO4)3 were investigated by means of electrolysis and electromotive force measurement by constructing an aluminum concentration cell. The typical electrical conductivity of Al2(WO4)3 was, approximately 2 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 800 °C. The dc electrolysis data strongly support the conclusion that ionic Al3+ is the mobile species in Al2(WO4)3. By further electrochemical measurements, it was c...

TL;DR: In this article, metal tungstates containing Ni, Co, Zn, Fe, and Ce were investigated for paraffin oxydehydrogenation of propane, and it was found that the tungstate, in particular COWO{sub 4}, constitute a new class of catalysts holding some promise for parafin oxydeprogenation, in addition to the previously studied systems based on vanadium-containing compounds (1) and on nickel-cobalt-molybdates.

TL;DR: In this paper, Raman, DRIFT, and 31P-MAS-NMR spectroscopies as pyrophosphates, chelate-bonded orthophosphate, and oligophosphates were characterized by adsorbed phosphate species.
Abstract: Phosphate-modified zirconia was prepared by impregnation of Zr(OH)4 and of m-ZrO2 with an aqueous solution of (NH4)2HPO4. Similar to sulfate and tungstate, phosphate shows a strong stabilizing effect on the specific surface area and the tetragonal phase of zirconia when using Zr(OH)4 as the precursor material. The adsorbed phosphate species were characterized by Raman, DRIFT, and 31P-MAS-NMR spectroscopies as pyrophosphates, chelate-bonded orthophosphates, and oligophosphates. Only a distortion of the geometry of the adsorbed phosphate species was found after dehydration of the materials in contrast to ZrO2/SO4. FT-IR spectroscopy with CO as a probe molecule was used to characterize the acidic properties of ZrO2/PO4. New hydroxyl groups, probably P−OH groups with enhanced protonic acidity as compared to pure zirconia but lower than that of ZrO2/SO4, were observed. In addition basic Zr−OH groups were observed. Furthermore, strong Lewis acidic centers (cus Zr4+), comparable to ZrO2/SO4, are formed by phosph...

TL;DR: In this paper, a polycrystalline film of BaWO4 was synthesized on tungsten metal substrates by hydrothermal-electrochemical and electrochemical methods from room temperature to 200 °C.
Abstract: Highly crystallized polycrystalline films of BaWO4 have been synthesized on tungsten metal substrates by hydrothermal-electrochemical and electrochemical methods from room temperature to 200 °C. The hydrothermal method did not produce a film because only discrete BaWO4 particles appeared on the tungsten substrate. The crystallization of BaWO4 was characterized by three-dimensional nucleation and growth behaviors. In the case of the electrochemical method, an amorphous tungsten oxide film formed after the BaWO4 film formation, while the hydrothermal-electrochemical method did not produce an amorphous film.

TL;DR: A cell-free preparation from avocado fruit incorporates [14C]mevalonate into ABA and the potential for using the tungstate/cinchonine reaction to probe other biosynthetic pathways which require a molybdate ion is discussed.
Abstract: A cell-free preparation from avocado fruit incorporates [14C]mevalonate into ABA. A number of specific inhibitors have been used to probe the system and tungstate ions at 100 µM reduce the 14C in ABA by 80% The inhibitory effect was overcome by the alkaloid cinchonine (2000 µM) which binds tungstate strongly and selectively. More 14C from mevalonate was present in xanthoxal (4600 dpm), less in ABA (340 dpm) when the cell-free system was inhibited by tungstate (100 µM) than in controls (1810 dpm in xanthoxal, 1200 dpm in ABA), which shows that xanthoxal is the substrate for the aldehyde oxidase. Xanthoxic acid, therefore, is the next intermediate and AB-aldehyde is not a normal precursor. The potential for using the tungstate/cinchonine reaction to probe other biosynthetic pathways which require a molybdate ion is discussed.

TL;DR: Three new compounds, AgLnW, GdW and Tb, have been prepared by a solid-state reaction and crystallize with a scheelite-related monoclinic symmetry.
Abstract: Three new compounds, AgLnW 2 O 8 (Ln 3+ =Eu, Gd or Tb), have been prepared by a solid-state reaction and crystallize with a scheelite-related monoclinic symmetry. Their IR spectra show absorption transitions in the region 1000–400 cm -1 similar to KLnW 2 O 8 . Broad excitation and emission bands of the tungstate group with a large Stokes shift (12 573 cm -1 ) are observed in AgGdW 2 O 8 . Excitation and emission spectra of AgLnW 2 O 8 (Ln=Eu or Tb) show that energy transfer from tungstate to Eu and Tb occurs and that Eu 3+ ions occupy a unique crystallographic site with C 2 site symmetry.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for forming a solid state humidity sensor is disclosed, which comprises the steps of dissolving a tungstate salt into an aqueous solution, adjusting the pH of the aqueus salt solution to below 8.5, and forming one or a pair of electrodes on an insulating substrate.
Abstract: A method for forming a solid state humidity sensor is disclosed which comprises the steps of: (a) dissolving a tungstate salt into an aqueous solution; (b) adjusting the pH of the aqueous tungstate salt solution to below 8.5; (c) forming one or a pair of electrodes on an insulating substrate; (d) placing the substrate into the pH-adjusted aqueous tungstate salt solution and heating the aqueous solution containing the substrate at temperatures above 70° C. to thereby form a pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide film over the electrode or pair of electrodes; and (e) forming another electrode over the pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide film if only one electrode is formed during step (c). Alternatively, the pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide film can be formed over or between the electrodes by heating the pH-adjusted aqueous tungstate salt solution to cause a precipitation of pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide, then screen-printing the pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide powder on one or both of the electrodes to thereby form a humidity sensing element. The pyrochlore-type crystalline tungsten trioxide is represented by the general formula of (M2 O)x WO3.zH2 O, in which M is a cation, x is about 0.5, and z, which is the amount of crystalline water contained in the crystal, is typically less than 2.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a zirconia aerogel was doped with both tungstate and sulfate by sequential incipient wetness impregnations, and the role of the dopants and activation temperature on the physical and chemical properties was studied.
Abstract: A zirconia aerogel, prepared by a sol-gel route followed by supercritical drying, was doped with both tungstate and sulfate by sequential incipient wetness impregnations. The role of the dopants and activation temperature on the physical and chemical properties was studied. The materials were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction, n-butane isomerization, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Tungstate and sulfate were catalytically active over non-overlapping ranges of activation temperature and thus offered no synergistic catalytic effects. The effects of the two dopants on each other appeared to be primarily physical.

TL;DR: In this paper, mixed NiMo-W oxides have been prepared by decomposition at======873 K of Anderson-type [NiMo====== 6-x====== W oxides] (x=0, 2, 3, 4, 6) heteropolyoxometallates.
Abstract: Mixed Ni–Mo–W oxides have been prepared by decomposition at 873 K of Anderson-type [NiMo 6-x W x O 24 H 6 ](NH 4 ) 4 5H 2 O (x=0, 2, 3, 4, 6) heteropolyoxometallates. Thermal analysis of the precursors, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy on the mixed oxides were performed. X-Ray powder patterns, collected at the end of the thermal treatment, revealed that the final products are NiMoO 4 and MoO 3 for the x=0 composition, whereas for tungsten-containing materials the final products are Mo 1-x W x O 3 solid solutions, NiWO 4 and WO 3 , depending on the Mo/W atomic ratio. Raman spectra have confirmed the XRPD analysis, revealing the presence of a stable WO 3 -type phase at high molybdenum contents and a high structural stability of Mo 1-x W x O 3 solid solutions.
